When it was time to defend John Kerry, Obama stood up for him. Hillary stabbed him in the back.

Here's a contrast for you:

During the convention, Obama was asked about Kerry and the Iraq War. Obama went out of his way to stand with John Kerry.

Just before the 2006 election, Kerry made a dumb remark about why people join the military. Hillary stabbed him in the back.

I know who I would want at my side in a time of need. Barack Obama (and John Kerry :))

stab in the back, and just how many people are willing to clean the knife for them.

if they are so powerful like their supporters say, you don't use an illness to not participate in the future of your country IMHO.

When it truly came time to stand by John Kerry, she didn't.

OK...

:evilgrin:

uninformed to know or go after the truth.

And quite a few Edwards people might want to remember that. Where the hell is he?

Just before the 2006 election, Kerry made a dumb remark about Bush, that was spun by the right wing to sound like it was about why people join the military. Hillary stood with the right wing and stabbed him in the back.

Either way, if I need someone to stand with me, it's Kerry and Obama I would trust, not Hillary.

Does keep things in perspective.

This is one the the instances I am weighing in determining whom to vote for.

Is this for real? :sarcasm:

It's shocking to me that the Clinton people are going with this argument.

Obama stands with the Party, downplaying his differences with the Party's nominee. The Party establishment - who no doubt urged him to do just that - now turns around and presents its reward: they use it against him down the road. Where I grew up, that's some cold and backstabbing shit.

Here's how they justify it: "Well Obama claims that his positions are beyond political expediency, and here's an example of him action for pure political expediency, so, QED, Obama's a big fat liar and not as pure as you children in the Kiddy Army imagine him to be hardy har har har har. Spin that, Obamamaniacs!"

That's what you get for defending your Party and trying to push Bush out of office. That's your reward from the Clintonites.

Heed this message well, Democrats. Remember it. Cherish it. This is your recompense for doing the right thing. Your actions will be used against you in the future if convenience and expediency warrants. This is how some people play. Of course, had Obama played up his positions and their differences from Kerry and the strategy then devised by the Party establishment, he would now be being crucified for deep-sixing Kerry's campaign for his own political ambition.

This is how politics works for some people. You put opponents and future opponents into unwinnable positions, save those for later, and then deploy them when the time is right. Here's the question:

DO YOU WANT TO BE ON A TEAM WITH SUCH PEOPLE???

I don't.

there is only so much "lie in my face" that any person can take.

I'm just praying Al Gore gets his memo.

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton ain't even a rational sane choice!

Things I can't even mention in this forum.
